As a massage therapist at Mornington Peninsula Myotherapy and Massage, I often work with athletes and people who engage in physical activity to help them prevent injuries, improve flexibility and mobility and enhance their athletic performance. One of the best ways to achieve these goals is through sports massage, a type of massage therapy that is specifically designed for active individuals.

Sports massage is a form of deep tissue massage that incorporates stretching and other techniques to target specific areas of the body that are prone to injury or muscle strain. By focusing on these areas, sports massage can help to improve flexibility and mobility, reduce the risk of injury and enhance athletic performance.

Some of the main benefits of sports massage include:

  1. Improved athletic performance: Sports massage can help to improve circulation and reduce muscle tension, which can lead to improved athletic performance.
  2. Reduced risk of injury: By targeting specific areas of the body that are prone to injury, sports massage can help to reduce the risk of injury during physical activity.
  3. Faster recovery from workouts: Sports massage can help to improve circulation and reduce muscle soreness, which can lead to faster recovery from workouts and other physical activity.

If you are an athlete or engage in regular physical activity, I highly recommend trying sports massage to help improve your performance and reduce your risk of injury.

To book a sports massage session, be sure to find a qualified massage therapist in your area who is experienced in this type of massage therapy. You can check online directories like HealthEngine or Yelp to find reviews and ratings of massage therapists in your area.
